Care instructions

Machine wash your Krosko men's warm and waterproof anorak at 30°C, inside out with the velcro fastened and without fabric conditioner. Choose a long rinse and gentle spin cycle. Line dry whenever possible. Occasional tumble drying on low for a short period of time will improve the water repellent treatment. To reactivate the water repellent treatment, you can also warm iron the fabric or apply the Tribord re-waterproofing spray.

Storage Tips

Store in a dry place, but do not leave your garment on a heat source such as a radiator, as this may damage the breathable coating.

FEATURES OF THE PRODUCT

Waterproofing:

The exclusive waterproof fabric is guaranteed to keep you dry – even in a downpour. In the rain simulator, the anorak spent 4 hours under the equivalent of a 100 L/hr/sqm shower without the tiniest drop getting through the product. The component's waterproofing is guaranteed to withstand more than 5,000 mm of water pressure

Protection of documents and accessories:

The inside zipped pocket lets you safely store your documents and accessories to keep them dry

Hood:

The hood is easily stored in the pocket built into the collar. It can be tightened with an adjustable elasticated cord equipped with two self-blocking eyelets to better protect you from the elements.

Wrist adjustment:

The anorak's wrists are fitted with rip-tabs and elastic. This design allows you to position the sleeve naturally on the top of your hand and adjust it to fit your wrist, preventing air and water from getting inside.

The injection-moulded plastic front and pocket zips are oxidation-resistant, thanks to the special shape of the teeth. It has been assembled with piping and is under a flap to guarantee optimal waterproofing.

Jacket lining:

Quilted lining over the entire anorak for a lighter weight and greater freedom of movement. This insulation provides thermal protection of 1.92 clo.

What is breathability and the RET index?

The breathability of your anorak corresponds to its ability to let perspiration generated by the body escape. It is measured by its Resistance to Evaporative Transfer (ISO 11092 standard). The RET is a resistance index; the lower the value, the greater the breathability of the fabric. RET between 6 and 9: extremely breathable, between 10 and 13: very breathable, between 14 and 17: breathable, between 14 and 17: breathable, between 18 and 20: little breathability, above 20: not breathable

What is a waterproofing test or "shower test"?

Approved test in which your warm anorak is placed under a shower simulating different weather conditions.
All our products are certified fully waterproof having been tested for 4+ hours in rain of 100 L/hr/sqm to 450 L/hr/sqm depending on the product use.

Water repellent component:

The water repellency of your anorak is obtained by applying a treatment to its outer surface. This treatment causes water to slide over the surface of the fabric without soaking in. This prevents the component from soaking up water and keeps it lightweight, breathable, and warm. This treatment must be renewed throughout the garment's lifetime. Water-repellent treatment products are available in our stores.

How important is windproofing?

Protection from the wind is critical, as wind can chill the body significantly whether you are active or at rest. According to the "wind chill" model, which measures how the air temperature feels when factoring in the wind and cold: at a temperature of 5°C, combined with winds of 30 km/h, the temperature felt will be 0°C. If the air temperature is 0°C and wind speed is 40 km/h, the temperature felt will be -7°C. Your anorak counters the windchill effect.

What is the Clo index?

Clo is the scale that measures the thermal resistance of your anorak. During the test, your technical garment's component is exposed to a temperature close to body temperature and a controlled outside temperature. The clo index reflects the ability of your anorak to retain your body heat inside the garment. The greater the clo index, the better the technical component will retain your body heat.

Score to compare the environmental impact of products

The environmental impact of the product is calculated over its entire life cycle and with different indicators. An overall score (ABCDE) is attributed to help you easily identify the products with the best environmental performance by comparing products of the same type with one another (T-shirts, trousers, backpacks, etc.).
Decathlon chose to apply this voluntary environmental labelling scheme.

TRIBORD Krosko waterproof and breathable jacket

A very warm, windproof, and waterproof jacket.None found so far

I wore this jacket in the recent storms. It kept me warm and dry. The good fit, the elasticated waistband and adjustable cuffs keep a warm layer of air trapped inside. None of my movements were restricted whilst wearing this garment. Zipped pockets keep everything safe. I don't have to wear lots of layers underneath the jacket, I normally wear a short sleeved shirt with a gilet, andcthis array keeps me comfortable.
